UNSPSC 50331584: Dried organic stayman apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic stayman apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331584 Dried organic stayman apples is a Commodity code that encompasses dried apple products for institutional food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts and correctional departments seeking dried fruits as components of cafeteria and institutional meal programs, where dried apples function as shelf-stable produce items suitable for bulk purchasing and standardized meal planning. The code captures products meeting USDA grade standards with specific packaging and quality certifications. School districts and state corrections agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs representing the most active segment due to federal Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products.
